Another great performance in this weekend's Airshow was by Mary Dilda in her T-6 - "Two of Hearts" affectionately known as "Blue." I am especially fond of these awesome little planes because I was fortunate enough to take a ride in one a few years ago. The T-6 "Texan" is a two-place advanced trainer, built by North American Aviation. The T-6 first flew in 1940, and was the training aircraft for most of the Allied pilots who flew in World War II. The T-6 that I rode in was built in 1942!
This weekend, I had the opportunity to attend "Angels Over Atlanta" - a two day Airshow featuring the US NAVY BLUE ANGELS Flight Demonstration Squadron. All I can say is WOW! Most of you know that I spent 7 years in the US AIR FORCE and that I have always had a great fondness of fighter jets. And yes, my favorite all time movie is Top Gun. Anyway, here's one of the photos I shot today. I also managed to record some great video shots too! Just wish I could figure out how to post them on my Blog.

Mmmm, dats some real good 1st Birthday Cake!

No doubt about it, I am one PROUD GRANDPA - and you can rest assured that you will see lots and lots of pictures of my ADORABLE GRANDSON on this site! Here, Drew (Andrew Graham Boles) plows into his 1st Birthday Cake!

Let's get this started . . . .

Welcome! Although I've been tinkering with PCs, the 'net, and websites for many years, I have to admit that I'm clueless about blogs. After seeing that my oldest son, Danny, had established 3 blogs recently (see my list of favorite blogs once I figure out how to put it on here), I had to give it a shot too. You know, the old man's got to prove his technological superiority here! Anyway, the truth is, at the time I launched this thing (and typed this 1st posting), I didn't even know what blog meant, much less how to start one. Maybe by the time you read this, I'll have it figured out, and it will be worth your time to be here!
